Facing Long Aotian, Appointed Saint Son?

Old Medicine was speechless. How come I never knew I was this incredible?

"Old Medicine, no wonder you call yourself Venerable Yao."

Electrolux burst out laughing. So that was what made him so venerable.

Old Medicine quickly accepted it. Since Xiao Xiaozi said so, that must be how I am. Not bad, not bad.

Clearly, Old Medicine was quite pleased.

"You're no slouch either, a man like you!"

Old Medicine spoke casually, then the two burst out laughing. Everything they meant was contained in that laughter.

The Ice Empress did not understand, but she was deeply impressed. So these two old grandpas were that powerful.

She had certainly latched onto the right powerful backers. The Ice Empress lounged lazily on Xiao Hei. Life was pretty good.

Outside, Du Busi and the others had already been rooted to the spot by Lin Xiao's words.

"Little fellow, you're not joking, are you?"

Du Busi forcibly suppressed his shock as he looked at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded. "I can swear that everything I said is true."

"Good, I believe you!" Du Busi was decisive, too. Once he chose to trust someone, he would not harbor doubts.

"Your disciple, Lin Xiao, pays his respects, Teacher!"

Lin Xiao also knew what to do and immediately acknowledged this teacher. Kowtow? Apart from Old Medicine, Lin Xiao would not kowtow to anyone.

That was his way of showing respect for Old Medicine.

"Hahahaha! Lin Xiao, what a fine lad."

"Come, come, let me introduce everyone."

Du Busi brought Lin Xiao over to the elders and introduced them one by one.

Golden Body Douluo: Jin Peng; Soul Douluo: Lang Ya...

Finally, Lin Xiao came to Long Aotian's side. Du Busi said, "Your senior brother, Long Aotian. His Soul Power is currently rank 48, his Martial Soul is his skin, and his second awakening reached the silver level."

Du Busi introduced him to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded. Long Aotian's strength was beyond question. Reaching Soul Saint at twenty without any cheats showed just how talented he was.

It was just a shame he had died too early.

"Eldest Senior Brother!"

Lin Xiao extended his hand, not minding having the other young man as his senior brother.

Long Aotian shook his hand with a smile, then turned to Du Busi. "Teacher, I'd like to spar with our junior brother. May I?"

A purple first Soul Ring and a black second Soul Ring-Long Aotian really wanted to test his strength.

Du Busi neither refused nor agreed. Instead, he looked at Lin Xiao. "Lin Xiao, are you willing?"

Du Busi also wanted to see how strong Lin Xiao was under those two teachers' guidance.

Lin Xiao did not refuse. As the strongest of the Body Sect's new generation, Long Aotian was someone he wanted to test himself against, to see how wide the gap between them was now.

Besides, the other young man had undergone a silver-level awakening.

"All right!"

Lin Xiao agreed without hesitation.

"Right here will do. There's no need to go anywhere else." Du Busi and the elders set up several barriers, enclosing the Great Hall.

Lin Xiao and Long Aotian stood facing each other.

"Eldest Senior Brother, please!"

Lin Xiao made an inviting gesture.

Long Aotian nodded slightly. Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet: yellow, purple, purple, black. His skin also changed color.

Clearly, Long Aotian was taking this seriously.

That was exactly what Lin Xiao wanted. His own Soul Rings had already appeared beneath his feet: purple and black!

"First Soul Skill: Dark Feast!"

"Second Soul Skill: Dark Body!"

In an instant, the Soul Power inside Lin Xiao surged. His aura reached its peak as Soul Power and battle qi coursed continuously through his body.

Long Aotian's body involuntarily trembled. Shrouded in darkness, he felt as though the fear in his heart had been magnified.

But his formidable strength allowed him to calm down instantly, and the fear in his heart dissipated at that moment.

"That was close!"

The next moment, Long Aotian's Soul Rings lit up. His first and third Soul Skills activated, instantly swelling his body and adding a sheen to his skin.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Berserk God Slash!"

Long Aotian's hands transformed into a massive axe, and terrifying Soul Power erupted from within him. Clearly, he was serious.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly. As expected of Long Aotian. He really is powerful.

"Eight Extremes Collapse!"

Lin Xiao's body was far from weak. He caught Long Aotian's enormous axe with a single palm.

The next instant, an enormous black dragon roared and plunged into Lin Xiao's body.

Lin Xiao's strength rose once more, and his physical prowess increased yet again.

With a boom, Lin Xiao jolted Long Aotian's enormous axe back. Long Aotian froze on the spot. What was going on?

And what was that enormous dragon just now?

Before Long Aotian could react, another palm strike from Lin Xiao followed.

Boom, boom, boom!

The two instantly clashed.

With the powerful enhancement of his two Soul Skills, Lin Xiao held his own against his opponent without yielding an inch.

Only Lin Xiao knew that Long Aotian had not unleashed his full strength. How could a Martial Soul that had undergone a second awakening possibly be weak?

The current Long Aotian had yet to achieve unity of man and nature. Otherwise, Lin Xiao would not even have had a chance to fight back.

Aside from the secret of the body, the Body Sect also possessed the unity of man and nature combat technique. Compared with Eight Extremes Collapse, however, unity of man and nature still fell a little short.

As for Eight Extremes Collapse, Lin Xiao had not even reached the beginner level yet.

If he mastered it completely, unity of man and nature would be no match for it.

Du Busi watched from the side with satisfaction. Lin Xiao's Dark Feast could not obstruct an expert of his caliber, and he saw every moment of their battle.

Lin Xiao's actual combat experience in particular was beyond anything Long Aotian could compare with.

"What a lad. He really is strong."

"With rank 23 Soul Power, he's almost keeping Aotian pinned down."

The more Du Busi watched, the more pleased he became. If Lin Xiao's Body Martial Soul underwent its second awakening now, Du Busi could guarantee that Long Aotian would be no match for him.

Even with Long Aotian's Soul Power already at rank 48, he still fell a little short compared with this boy.

No wonder the boy's teacher dared to be so brazen. He truly had the strength to back it up.

I'll have to get myself a more overbearing title someday, too. Hehe, Du Busi thought. As this boy's third teacher, how can I go without a proper title?

Lin Xiao had no idea what Du Busi was thinking. At that moment, he was already fighting Long Aotian on equal footing.

With the enhancement provided by his second Soul Skill, coupled with the battle qi within him, Lin Xiao had nothing to fear.

"I lost!"

Long Aotian was knocked back by a palm strike from Lin Xiao and showed no intention of continuing.

"Eldest Senior Brother, you haven't used your silver-level awakening yet, have you? It gives you a hundred percent boost. If you used it, I'd be the one who lost."

Lin Xiao withdrew his hands. He knew that Long Aotian had been going easy on him and had not used his full strength just now.

Long Aotian smiled. "This is enough, Junior Brother. You're very strong, and your combat experience surpasses mine."

"Junior Brother, how old are you now?"

Junior Brother should already be in his teens, right? With strength like that, he'd crush anyone at the same rank.

Lin Xiao dismissed his Soul Skills and Martial Soul. "Eldest Senior Brother, I'll turn seven in another three months."

"What? You awakened your Martial Soul less than a year ago?" Long Aotian was shocked. He was convinced now. Even he had been no match for Lin Xiao at that age.

Hearing that Lin Xiao was not even seven yet made Du Busi even happier. He had a worthy successor-a worthy successor!

"Aotian, I was worried there might be something wrong with my decision. Now I realize that even if you disagree, I'm still going to make Lin Xiao the Saint Son."

Du Busi's voice rang out.

Before Lin Xiao arrived, Long Aotian had been the heir. Now that Lin Xiao had appeared, everything had changed.

But Long Aotian felt no resentment. Although his name meant "proud of heaven," and he had every right to be proud, he was not truly arrogant!
